Soogalu is hyper-focused on the customer, both inside and outside.
Behind every product is a person who plays a critical role in the company's success and our people. We expect each team member to respect the relationships formed and embrace opportunities that these relationships may foster.
We have an insatiable desire to learn, from new relationships to cutting-edge technology, to how to improve the culture of Soogalu.
Each team member understands that taking risks is part of success, but at the same time, we respect and embrace ideas that show better results.
We love what we do, and, believe each day can present opportunities for joy and fun in work that matters.
We are always looking for better and more efficient ways to improve what we offer to our customers, from the products we sell, the technologies we use, to the experience of the sale.
We are not afraid to work hard for something we believe in; from the products we sell to the people we work with, hard work is part of who we are.
We love what we do, and, believe each day can present opportunities for joy and fun in work that matters.
Our vision for Soogalu is a lab-focused supplier offering top-quality products with a modern ordering experience built on a customer-first mentality. We want to partner with commercial and in-house labs to supply the most needed products.
We are launching with an initial product catalog focused on the core items you need every day: Keystone 3D printer resigns, GoodFit retainer and aligner material, our Soogalu line of wires, screws, acrylic, monomer, and other items, and the new Leone CAD-CAM designed screws and traditional Leone products.
We will expand our catalog and services as we receive feedback from you, our lab customers.
As you browse our catalog, we invite you to let us know what we need to offer. This includes physical products and even lab services and solutions. Let’s work together to build a lab supply business built for and by labs.
